How to Operate the Windshield Wiper in Subject Three?
2 Answers
By pushing the wiper control lever, you can adjust the wiper to different states: intermittent, off, auto, and low/high speed. Below is some information about windshield wipers: Introduction: The windshield wiper, also known as a wiper blade, is a device used to remove rain and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Legal Requirements: Due to legal regulations, almost all vehicles worldwide are equipped with windshield wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also have wipers. Besides cars, other transportation vehicles like trains and trams are also equipped with wipers. Some engineering machinery, such as cranes, also feature wipers.
When preparing for the driving test's third subject, I specifically practiced operating the windshield wipers extensively in the driving school car. There's a control lever on the right side of the steering wheel - gently pushing it down one notch activates slow wiping, two notches for moderate rain, and pushing it all the way down for heavy storms. For light rain, a gentle upward push with your hand triggers a single wipe. During training, the instructor emphasized: activate wipers two seconds before turning in rainy conditions to ensure clear visibility when cornering. Don't wait until the windshield is completely blurred before scrambling to operate them. During the test when heavy rain came, I pre-adjusted to medium setting, firmly maintaining steering control with one hand while operating the lever with the other to avoid point deductions for vehicle deviation. I developed the habit of regularly checking wipers regardless of weather - aged rubber blades affect wiping efficiency, which could easily cause test failure.
